First Grand Theft Auto, now this.

By IGN Staff

Capcom has revealed plans to publish Sony Computer Entertainment's European-developed Getaway for the PlayStation 2 in the Japanese market. Capcom will be dubbing the game into Japanese, enlisting the talents of Kouji Kikuchi, who's well known for work related to Japanese localizations of films.

This announcement comes a few weeks after an announcement from the company that it would (at long last) be publishing the Japanese version of Take Two's Grand Theft Auto 3. Following the Grand Theft Auto announcement, the game actually managed to make an appearance on Famitsu's top thirty most wanted list. Will Capcom manage to do the unthinkable an make a non-Japanese property sell well in Japan? We'll have to watch the upcoming sales charts to see.
